  });
</script>

Step 4: Customize the To-Do List

Once you have added the code, update your website and test the functionality. Here’s what you can do with the online to-do list:
✅ Add new tasks with different priority levels (low, medium, high).
✅ Edit task descriptions and adjust priorities as needed.
✅ Mark tasks as completed to keep track of progress.
✅ Delete tasks to remove them when no longer needed.

Step 5: Optimize the Page for SEO

To improve the visibility of your to-do list page on search engines, add relevant keywords like “free online to-do list” and “task management tool.” Include a descriptive page title and subtitles, such as:

• Best Free Online To-Do List Tool
• Enter Your Tasks Below

You can also add a short description explaining the features of your to-do list tool and how users can benefit from it.
